Did you hear that? It’s Coffin Bell ringing in it’s Volume 6 No. 4 issue “Malicious Editions.” My horror short “Infestation” has crawled its way into this magazine, and I would be so honored if you traveled to the publication’s website to read it. Here is a taste of the story by way of found poem I created from imagery in this nightmarish tale.
Kind regards,
K.
In the Room Where You Sleep
In the room where you sleep are:
oddly shaped implements,
a taxidermied owl
oozing and raised, which
leaves animal droppings,
swollen ticks behind
a growing brood.
What takes place
behind triple-locked doors?
It’s unethical.
Rotted limbs
decomposing,
foulest soup of gray bones,
the scope of a rifle
cutting off circulation:
a new infestation.
